DUDQS3 - Quilt Recieved!

I shared with you the quilt I made for the DUDQS3 last week, but today I am very excited to share the quilt that I received.

My quilt was made by the very talented Kelli. Just look at that quilting! Isn't it stunning!! I absolutely love it!

Kelli has left the coloured squares un-quilted and they really pop.

It's going to look beautiful on my wall!!

Thank you so much Kelli, I really do love it!


PS: Are you planning on coming along to the Social Sewing this Saturday (the 27th October)? If so, please let me know!

I made this mini-quilt way back in May to practice making pinwheels like the ones I made for Olivia's quilt, but didn't want to post about it until now as it was using scraps from Laura's Wedding Quilt, and I didn't want to risk ruining any of the surprise of her quilt, including the fabrics.

 

I used some 2.5 inch squares, cutting them in half with a slight diagonal line. After deciding on my layout (see above) I stitched them back together along the diagonal line and trimmed the blocks square (approx 2 inches)

After adding a white border the top of my mini quilt was done:

I then basted it and quilted it 1/4" from the seamlines of the squares (a decision that I promptly regretted and learnt from before making Olivia's quilt).

After binding the mini-quilt was complete. It is about 9.5x14" and is the first quilt in the (to be) collection of mini quilts that I want to put on my bedroom wall in a little cluster.
